The World Upside-Down Through a Dead Sheep's Eye
Chapter 1
Being told that the 'Most Important Person in all of the world' (and everywhere else for that matter) is looking for you, can come as quite a shock to many a people. In fact, it was only last century that a man actually died on the spot after being told that the Most Important Person in all of the world, and Everywhere else was looking for him. It has still not been confirmed whether he died from that knowledge, or the hideous experience of being swallowed whole by an Uber-furb, a rather large, cute (if you ignored the meter long teeth its mouth sported), carnivorous animal that lives upon the dark, almost unplotted region of zion 6. It is common knowledge however that it takes a very long time to determine if someone has, in fact died, largely due to the introduction of time machines. It is also due to simply the lack of interest shown by many people whose job it is to actually watch the use of time machines.
To conclude, after being told The Most Important Person of Everywhere, (or MIPE) is looking for you, most people go into a state of shock, or excitement, or even fear in anticipation of meeting this great MIPE.
"Sorry?" Adam frowned at the strange, tall, big eared man in front of him
"The Most Important Person in all of the world, and Everywhere else is looking for you and-"
"I'm sorry, do you mean the president?" Adam interrupted
"No. I mean The Most Important Person in all of the world, and Everywhere else."
"And that would be…?"
"The Most Important Person in all of the world, and Everywhere else of course." The man snapped, clearly tiring of this annoying, stupid human.
"Uhuh. Does he have any other name by any chance?" Adam queried, clearly confused by this man who had been standing, leering in front of him for the past 20 minutes, preventing him from leaving his front gate.
"For short, The Most Important Person of Everywhere, otherwise no. Look, he wants to see you, so call him as soon as possible alright?"
"No."
"What do you mean no?" The man almost yelled
"I mean no!" Adam began, rather flustered "as in no, I will not call this person, partly because I have no idea who he is, and…and…partly because I don't have his phone number!"
The man gave him a queer look, before emitting a long aspirated sigh. Adam had no idea why this man seemed so angry at him for asking what he thought that really, were quite sensible questions. By the time he had looked up again to ask the man why he was so agitated, the man had gone.
The universe is big and full of mostly nothing, right? Well, mainly, but some of the nothing, the part that isn't full off planets, spaceships, random atoms, stars, comets, asteroids or sheep, that part, can be used to travel through by certain individuals. Only those with a pass (and a spare two dollars on them) are permitted to use the channels, and only then in an emergency. Fortunately, being harassed by an incredibly stupid earthman whilst in pursuit of vital job duties (such as passing on a message) is listed as an emergency in the intergalactic 'Proper Use of the Universe' guide. It was this law that the man who had, a moment before been standing before the earthman took advantage of and promptly disappeared.
